Perdition

I’m as carefully irrational as a butterfly heading for the sun As beautiful as I may seem, it all started somewhere It will always end somehow Please, God, this all too much! It’s just too heavy for my wings to bear! Cradling what my sins have left me with Dust and memories kept in jars of mud, my yoke A thousand miles away, still yet to leave single footprint Please, God, this all too much! It’s breaking the will my bones feed upon! We’re all ashes and lies, so perfectly broken Deprived and neglected, we feed upon the innocent I’m the angelic vampire with the Devil in his eyes Please, God, take this all away! I beg you to purify what I’ve laid to waste! It’s too much for me to bother, too deep to redeem! As carefully irrational as a butterfly Ignoring the frost as it overtakes me
